Equipment Used for Mitochondrial Disease Genetic Testing at Juntendo University (IMAGE)
Caption
Juntendo University researchers created a gene panel test for mitochondrial diseases, examining 367 marker genes in mitochondrial and nuclear DNA. However, the test alone cannot confirm a genetic diagnosis. The Intractable Disease Research Center at the university will perform further genetic analyses on ambiguous gene variants to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
